Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan

Shahid Kapoor has thrown Saif Ali Khan an open challenge. Before your minds start racing, let us clarify that Shahid has said that he might just grow a longer beard than Saif.

For the uninitiated, Saif has been sporting a full facial fuzz for Navdeep Singh's Hunter, in which he is playing a Naga sadhu. Meanwhile, Shahid has been growing out his beard, as well.

In an interview with a leading channel, Shahid was asked, "What's with the long beard?" He laughed, "Saif's beard looks bigger than my beard, though. I am still waiting for it to get to that length, his looks really good. This is for Arjun Reddy. I'm doing the remake of the Telugu film Arjun Reddy."

Shahid will start shooting for the film in October, which means that the beard is "going to get a lot bigger than this". Who knows? He might just beat Saif at having the bigger beard! Shahid laughed, "I might. I might just get there. Watch out, Saif!"

Earlier, Saif had joked that his wife Kareena Kapoor Khan and son Taimur are not too happy about his beard. "She says she likes it and he pulls it very hard but neither of them has kissed me very much. If I ask Taimur to kiss my hand, he kisses it. If I ask him to kiss my face, he just tilts his head on my cheek. Pretty much the same with the missus," he had said.

However, Shahid's daughter Misha is "okay" with the beard. "She has been a part of the growing process. If I was away for a while and I came back, she would have been a bit thrown off. But she has seen it grow every day and she has asked me on many occasions after touching it, 'Papa, yeh kya hai?' And I have to explain to her that it's a beard. Those conversations have happened, yeah," he laughed.
